I have a 2002 Volkswagen Lupo that I have recently bought. The paintwork is faded in places and I thought it would be easy to find products to restore this with - how wrong I was!

I need to find a yellow paint restorer and (ideally) a yellow paint chip repair kit. Can anyone recommend one or know of an alternative product?

I recently bought my first bike and have noticed that after riding for about 15-20 minutes, when I come to a stop (stop sign) and have clutch lever pulled in (engaged) the bike idles 2,000 - 2,500 rpms and seems jumpy. If I ease out the clutch and let the bike roll about 6 inches, then re-engage the clutch the idle will drop down to about 1,000.

Assuming this isnt normal - but could this be carberators needing cleaned? or a tune up needed? I called my local Yamaha dealer and was told that they will not service this bike because it is over 10 yrs old....(great....not)

Only idles high like this when engine is warm (after 15-20 minutes riding) and when stopped with clutch engaged waiting to take off.

I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to cars. I need to replace the bulbs for my headlights. The Nissan manual says to take it to the dealer. How much would they charge for something like that? Is it easier to do it myself without breaking something else? It looks like you have to move certain pieces to get to the light? Any advice from someone who knows about this car>

I got the tires from sears. They are Dunlop tires that where not cheap. The tires were balenced. The sound seems to be coming from the Front passenger side tire well. Please help since I drive on the highway everyday to go to school.

Hi, I just purchased a '97 BWM 328i.

Need some info on the following (owner's manual is terrible):

Radio will not power on. Nor will the sunroof do anything. Additionally, the windshield wipers will not squirt (but they work fine otherwise).

What could be wrong? I'm thinking some kind of fuse needs changing, as everything else is tip-top. Any ideas, refs? I need diagrams/photos if possible.

Also, one stupid question (since the manual doesn't seem to cover this AT ALL): I have a digital climate control system, I understand all the little buttons and everything, but I want to know what the two temperature readings indicate. Are these for the heated seats or are these for something else?

Thanks,
mort_silencieuse

I am new at selling used cars, and I'm still figuring out how to appraise it. Right now, I'm basing it at how they sell it, but some vehicle is not on the used car lot.

I'm in the Iloilo Philippines, but answers from anywhere else are welcome, it might give me some ideas.

Thanks!

The car turns over but does not even sputter - sounds like it has no spark at all. Does anyone know how to get around this feature on the kut keys. See - she lost her original and now only has the two keys she got cut - but they wont stat the car.

ok so here's my story...my husband and i went to blockbuster to drop off some video and when we pulling into the parking lot there wasn't any parking space left so my husband got out of the car while i pulled to the side and right when he got out i pulled into the handicap parking space to do a 3 point turn so that when my husband got back - the passager door will be on his side. anyways when i was doing a 3 point turn, right when i pulled into the handicap zone waiting for a car behind me to pass by before i pulled out, the ticket guy pulled up and gave me a ticket for $345. I told him that i wasn't park there and that i was going to make a 3 point turn and my car was not a park or i didn't leave my car sitting there. the ticket guy told me that it does not matter if my car was on park or not that california has a strict rule about a car being on a handicap parking area if i don't have a handicap parking sign on my car. so i'm planning on fighting this ticket and wonder if i can win

I seem to have gotten into this habit lately when I pull into a parking spot if I see someone who is all ON the yellow line instead of between them I will purposely bump their car a little when I'm pulling in, or sometimes just go out of my way to drive by it and scratch it or rub my bumper against their door to teach them a lesson to PARK BETWEEN THE YELLOW LINES CORRECTLY. That's what they're for. So hopefully next time they see a scratch on their car they'll think "hmm, maybe I should have parked between lines like a normal person." Who else does this? Who's with me?

During the fall my car heater felt like it heated up pretty good. Now that it's winter, it only starts to heat up on the highway. When my car idles it immediately gets cold in there.

They are Goodyear Assurance tires, not the original tires on the car. The only thing (regarding pressure) on the tire is 45 max PSI. Should I keep it there since it generally rides well?

Also, is it better to keep tire pressure a little lower for better traction in the winter?
